Re: OT How do we post photos here?

If you have Facebook, just "copy" the photo using the right click button on your mouse, open a reply box in the thread you want to place the photo, and then "paste" the photo into the reply box.

I used to use Photobucket, but they changed it and I no longer use it.

Re: OT How do we post photos here?

One reminder: Digital images often contain personal identifying information (e.g., geotagging, names on various websites and accounts), and it's easy for anyone to look at the image info. Keep that in mind, and be careful if you allow geolocation or if you're copying from accounts (like Facebook, Photobucket, etc.) which display your name or other personal info.

I don't like Photobucket anymore either. Even Flickr is becoming a pain in the butt.

Just so that the OP realizes - there is a distinction between pictures are already ON the internet, via either a website or you have uploaded YOURS to a photo host like Photobucket, Flickr, etc.

If the pictures are on your computer you need to upload them to a photo hosting site, including Facebook of course, before you can copy and paste them here. If you copy and paste a photo from your computer to here, you will be the only one who actually sees it.

If the pictures are already somewhere online - hosted or on Facebook, or WHEREVER online - you can just copy and paste from there.

I'm glad it worked for you. I have no clue why "paste" didn't. I always use the "Ctrl V," though.

Just use the other method then.

Re: OT How do we post photos here?

I use Tiny Pic.com Sometimes I have to use Adobe Photo Shop to resize the photo so it's not so large when I post it. The copy & paste works when I find a pic online but not always.

Hi, MJ! Nice to see you!Smile

Thanks. It really is important info for those who don't wish to disclose their personal ID info here.
